Football is an 11 man game, and everyone has to do their part correctly, or everyone looks bad.   I have seen plenty of plays where Odrick does his job, but someone nearby is out of position, or takes the wrong gap, or some other mental error.   So to me, trying to blame a player for underperforming is off base, what is really happening out there is guys are making mental error after mental error.   Taking the wrong gap on defense, making a key penalty, blocking the wrong guy, and on and on and on as it has been for 3 years.    This isn't Odrick's fault.   It's the coaching staff.   They have failed to coach the mistakes out of these guys.   Well coached teams don't make so many mistakes.  

 

What I'm saying is, I think a lot of people are focusing on the wrong problem.   It isn't this guy, or that guy, it's the whole team.  Every play someone makes a key mistake.   If you want to blame someone, blame the coaches.
